I / We(hereafter referred to as the surrendering party) agree to surrender the following named ferret(s):

and have chosen to enlist the services of the Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada, who will attempt to find a new home for said ferret(s).

The following conditions are hereby stated and must be upheld for this Agreement to be valid.

It is understood that the ferret or ferrets are being surrendered for their continued welfare and that the Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada accepts said ferret(s) in an AS IS condition. Therefore, the Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada assumes full ownership, and thereby full responsibility, for any current or future illnesses, which said ferret(s), may suffer while in the custody of the FLSAC.

The Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada reserves the right of refusal in placing the ferret or ferrets surrendered if it is the judgment of the FLSAC that certain prerequisites of ownership are not met. No ferret will be placed knowingly in any home or institution for the purpose of ritual, rite, or experimentation. No ferret will be placed knowingly in any home where any form of poor ownership or abuse of any animal has occurred in the past

The Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada guarantees that said ferret(s) will receive the utmost care while residing in their care. Furthermore, the Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada guarantees that said ferret(s) will receive the utmost care and consideration in their placement with a new owner and that the FLSAC reserves the right for future contact with the adoptive party in the interest of continued health and welfare concerns.

Upon surrender, the surrendering party gives up all rights of ownership of said ferret(s). Visitation of said ferret(s) is NOT permitted while said ferret(s) reside with the Society unless a special agreement has been made at the time of surrender. Furthermore, the surrendering party has no right to contact the adoptive party concerning said ferret(s) without consent.

The Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada agrees to retain ownership of said ferret(s) until an adoptive home can be found. If, for any reason, the FLSAC cannot allow said ferret(s) to reside with the Society (i.e. quarantine, health hazard, economic hardship resulting in lowered quality of care to ferrets, legislation banning ownership of ferrets in this zone, relocation or closure of the FLSAC, or for any other reason) then the FLSAC agrees to place said ferret(s) with another recognized Ferret Shelter or Rescue Society to ensure that quality care will be given to said ferret(s).

The Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada will make every attempt possible to place multiple ferrets surrendered to the FLSAC into the same home where possible.

The Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada operates this rescue and adoption organization as a service to the domestic ferret and as such is not a business, but is rather a not-for-profit registered society. All monies collected are to cover the cost of feeding and maintaining the health of domestic ferrets, at no profit to the Ferret Rescue Society of Atlantic Canada.

Your donation in the amount of $______________ will help to pay for rabies & distemper vaccinations and other vet expenses we will incur while taking care of your ferret.

By signing this contract, the surrendering party agrees to all conditions set in the above contract and that they give up all rights to the above named ferret(s).
